Profile:
It is never easy for a cricketer from one of the weaker states to
break into the national side. And on this count, Debashish Mohanty
deserves credit for forcing himself into the Indian team on
merit. Another who has come through the India A ranks, Mohanty's
bowling impressed coach K Srikkanth who advocated his early inclusion
in the senior side. A medium pace bowler capable of achieving quite a
bit of movement in helpful conditions, Mohanty's tragedy has perhaps
been the fact that the selectors have not known what exactly to do
with him or where to fit him in. In English conditions for example
Mohanty would be an obvious choice in the playing eleven. And as he
proved in the World Cup, the selectors were right in picking him at
the last moment, even though he was not in the original list of
probables.
In Indian conditions however, given his bowling style, Mohanty is
bound to be less successful, except perhaps at centres like Calcutta
and Mohali. He had few chances to cement his place on the tour of
Australia where Ajit Agarkar was given more opportunities. But there
is little doubt that Mohanty will still be required in both Tests and
one day internationals as seam support to Javagal Srinath and
Venkatesh Prasad. In any case, the last has certainly not been heard
of him as he is bound to be picked wherever conditions help swing
bowling. (Partab Ramchand)
